I love that UConn's president apparently wrote a letter yesterday to the presidents of the so called "catholic 7" preaching solidarity and going forward together. Isn't this the same UConn that has been practically begging to get into the ACC for the past couple of years?

PBGM mentioning the TV deal a couple days ago prompted me to go look at the potential deal. If these teams leave but the Big Least remained, the conference's teams could earn about $2M per year on a new TV deal given the markets. Rutgers projected to earn upwards of $47M per year when the B10 renegotiates a TV deal. The ACC/B12 won't get as much as the B10 - no one will - but it's a staggering, staggering amount more than the Big Least will be able to offer their schools.

The conference is ****, to put it bluntly. The writing has been on the wall for years, and now it's finally happening.
